Meet Jose 👋
Hi, my name is Jose, and I come from Ecuador 🇪🇨
I’m a young DevOps Engineer, and in my job I love dealing with new technologies, automations, and optimizations on a daily basis. It’s a lot of fun.
And in terms of payment, it’s amazing: My DevOps salary is 233% more than what I used to earn at my previous job, which of course is besides of being fulfilled at work another important aspect and increased the quality of my life 🙂
What did you do before DevOps? 👀
In my very first job I worked as a developer using Java, PL/SQL and bash scripting.
With time, I became interested in Linux OS 🐧 and infrastructure things, so I ended up working as a Sys Admin in a big company.
Why did you decide to switch to DevOps? Which aspect do you like most about it?
To be honest, I felt stagnant with low payment so I researched new roles in IT and I found DevOps.
It’s an exciting role that combined the two worlds which I liked a lot: "Software Development" & "Operations".
In fact, DevOps promised to be dynamic, with new technologies, optimizations, automations, etc.
“And because I tend to get bored easily, the excitement of DevOps seemed to be a perfect fit for me. In addition, I realized that DevOps Engineering was very well-paid.
As I love challenges, I decided to learn DevOps and do whatever it takes 💪"
How did you decide to take the DevOps Bootcamp? Where did you hear about it?
I found the video "What is DevOps" by TechWorld with Nana, and I was surprised about how easily and clearly Nana explained all concepts on YouTube, although I’m not a native English speaker.
So I had no doubts that her DevOps Bootcamp would be just as good. I wanted a complete course that gave me the big picture, not isolated courses without connection. And the DevOps Bootcamp was a perfect match for my needs ✅
“Also the DevOps Bootcamp offered a community of students, and Support with learning, and that was very important to me.”
The main obstacle to me was the price but I considered it as an investment in my career, and it definitely paid off!
I didn't try any other schools, just TechWorld with Nana’s DevOps Bootcamp and it was clearly everything I needed to make the career switch.
What was the best part of the DevOps Bootcamp? 💎
I really liked the quality of labs (hands-on projects) and continuity between the lessons.
It was very easy for me to completely understand the classes. I was able to make a profile in Github with all my knowledge.
So, how did you get your new job, how did you prepare? 💪 💼
With my Github profile, my DevOps badge as a “Certified DevOps Practitioner” and all the new knowledge, I updated my LinkedIn profile and curriculum, and I started applying for DevOps positions. ✍️
I was invited to many interesting interviews, and eventually I got a new job within only 1 year of enrolling in the DevOps Bootcamp! It went so fast! 🤠
DevOps Certification at TechWorld with Nana 🏅
At the end of the program, students can apply for our DevOps certification at no additional cost. In addition to the projects portfolio, it further testifies the acquired skills to employers ✅
Is there a big difference in your salary? 💸
I got a 233% increase compared to my previous salary.
This actually confirmed what my research showed that DevOps is very demanded. It seems there is a lack of people, who can implement DevOps properly and companies are therefore willing to pay premium to get skilled people :)
What do you recommend to new DevOps-aspirants? 💡
Be patient, don't skip any lecture of the Bootcamp, because you think "you already know that".
Do all the hands-on projects to get real practice, and very importantly ‼️:
Create a Github profile based on what you’ve learned 📒
I can assure you, with the DevOps Bootcamp you have a complete program that prepares you for the majority of DevOps jobs published out there 😊 Good luck!
Feel free to share anything else in addition 🙂
I just want to say THANK YOU for the hard work in order to deliver a high quality education, I'm very proud of being part of TechWorld with Nana.
